browse & sort your images easily

Another image manager? Yes, there are many programs to manage images. Many of these programs also have good image processing functions – so why a new pure image archive program? Because we think that image management should be independent and future-oriented. Many editors, if they have a database at all, store it somewhere in the system. They don’t allow a simple backup and above all they don’t allow an uncomplicated distribution of the archive. Furthermore, such a catalog is often unnecessarily large. fotoARRAY works without subscription, even without installation. Just start the program from its folder and you can open the catalog. This works even without licensing information as “free edition” – this makes fotoARRAY the perfect tool to manage your picture legacy. We have tried to make the catalog as small as possible – and still you can see the images also while the original image files are not available.

Use FILTERING

Zoom into IMAGE

In single item view you can activate zooming.

Zooming is also supported in the “Refine Selections” window.

ALIGN IMAGES

Image copy tool

Mobile Installation

fotoARRAY only requires the tools installed within its directory. It does depend on runtimes installed on the system.

Without license key and/or activation it will run in demo mode and will just display a reminder from time to time.
